Everybody on the top of the monument was in an uproar after hearing what the Star Lord said.
"It's finally begun."
"Hurry up, my battle pet is thirsty!"
"Go and breed if you're thirsty. What are you doing here?"
"Humph. The Sword Deity Academy will still be at the top. We'll show you what the best academy is made of!"
"I'm willing to call you bullshit!"
"Since when did the Sword Deity Academy claim to be the best? How dare the Sword Deity speak when the Dragon Tomb Academy is not here?"
"Stop arguing, you two clowns. The Hugh Mia Academy is the real champion!"
"The Holy Oriole Academy: Do you think we're dead? Yes, we're dead. "
Everybody on the top of the monument was already rubbing their fists and mocking each other before the battle even began.
The four best academies weren't ranked, but they always liked to compete with each other. They were always competing with each other in the previous matches.
That competition had also extended to the Illusionary God Mysterious Realm.
On the top of the mountain — Su Ping and the other seven people had recovered from their cultivation; they listened to the Star Lord's announcement of the rules in silence.
Su Ping was still savoring his cultivation; he felt that he would have touched a new law if he had stayed there for a while longer.
Presently, he'd comprehended over 100 Laws and comprehended them by analogy. He'd already gradually developed some profound understanding towards the Laws themselves from his grasp of the various Laws.
However, his understanding was still vague. He believed that his combat ability would reach a new level once he completely broke through the vague barrier and grasped the laws themselves.
"Go and choose."
The Star Lord waved his hand and sent a large number of monuments to the top of the monument.
"Humph!"
Dragon Emperor stood up in the light array; his shoulders seemed to be holding up the sky. He looked around with disdain. The Dragon Tomb Academy had lost its prestige during the competition for the top of the mountain. He took the lead and stepped into the void, arriving in front of a magnificent monument.
He scanned the monument with his mind and soon found the enemy's profile. Knowing that he had found the right place, he stepped into the monument.
Weirdly enough, the rough surface of the monument rippled like water, allowing the Dragon Emperor to step into it and disappear.
Everybody was surprised by the Star Lord's explanation, but they already had an idea of what was going on.
Every monument could be chosen repeatedly; the people who entered later wouldn't meet the previous ones; they would be teleported to different areas.
The situation inside each monument was different; some enemies were good at mental attacks, some were good at pet attacks, some were dragons, some were elemental, and some were mixed.
"The Dragon Tomb Academy has indeed chosen the dragon-class monument."
"It's full of dragons. The dragon-class monument is extremely difficult; it's only second to the all-class monument!"
I wonder if they'll be slapped in the end. "
"Are you kidding me? Dragon Emperor's slaps? You clowns don't know how powerful Dragon Emperor is. Let me tell you, Dragon Emperor's battle pets are all dragons! His Dragon Dragon Rank is a top-quality and tough one! "
The students from the other academies changed their expressions after hearing the Dragon Tomb Academy's explanation. The cost of training a dragon formation was too high, unless they could gather a bunch of regular dragons. However, such a formation was meaningless.
The Dragon Emperor had become the top student of the Dragon Tomb Academy; some of the more informed people had heard rumors about him and were quite wary of him.
After the Dragon Emperor entered the dragon-class monument, the Wooden Sword Boy not far away also stood up and walked to another monument.
"It's a sword class monument for physical skills. Is he going to practice his sword skills in there?"
"The Sword Deity Academy will probably choose that."
Soon after, the others on the hilltop also took action.
"Where are you going?"
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady, who was sitting on Su Ping's left, spoke to a man; she looked at Su Ping curiously.
Su Ping looked at the monuments and said casually, "I'll go for an all-class one. The point bonuses are higher there."
Every monument had a different point bonus. The all-class monument was the most difficult, so the point bonuses were the highest. Su Ping wasn't picky; he had seen all kinds of monsters in the cultivation sites; he could just deal with whatever came his way.
"All-class?"
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady was stunned for a moment. She looked at Su Ping and said, "The all-class monument does have a high point bonus, but you'll run into all kinds of enemies there. Some of them are swordsmen, while others are mental attacks. Your pets are so strong; I suggest you go for the dragon-class or elemental monuments."
"Okay." Su Ping nodded.
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady was relieved, but then she was shocked to find that Su Ping was flying straight to the all-class monument.
Did this fellow not hear what he said clearly?
Everybody looked at Su Ping when he stood on the all-class monument. Oasis Dragon King was about to enter the monument when he heard the exclamations. He narrowed his eyes and saw Su Ping's choice.
The all-class monument was at the top of all the monuments; Su Ping was the only one standing in front of it.
"That guy …"
Oasis Dragon King's expression changed, then he saw that Su Ping had already stepped into the monument.
"He really went in!"
"You're not a woman. Why are you shouting?"
"Damn it. He actually entered the all-class monument? Just how confident is this guy? "
"What confidence? I think he's just stupid. The all-class monument has a high point bonus, but the odds of failure are 99%. Even the Dragon Emperor and the Sword God's heir wouldn't dare to choose it."
"That's right. If you want to maximize your points, you have to choose the monument that suits you the best. The bonus is already tempting enough!"
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady was lost for words. Su Ping nodded, but he obviously didn't take her advice seriously. She sneered; it was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to talk to someone and give a kind suggestion, only to be ignored. She would love to see Su Ping's face when she came out of the monument.
Without further ado, the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady found a monument that suited her and flew in.
As the people at the top of the mountain entered the monuments, those at the middle of the mountain also took off and entered the monuments.
Most of the students from the Sword Deity Academy chose the monument that the Wooden Sword Boy had chosen.
The Dragon Tomb Academy, on the other hand, chose the dragon-class monument.
As for the Hugh Mia Academy and the Amir Royal Academy, they had chosen different monuments.
"Lulu, keep it up. The academy gave you a spot so that you could gain experience. Take advantage of this opportunity!" The graceful girl encouraged Yuan Linglu.
She was there to take care of Yuan Linglu, who had a constitution of the thunder class. According to the test, it was the Thunder King Constitution, one of the top ten constitutions of the thunder class.
Such a constitution was extremely domineering; once fully activated, one would be able to grasp the law of thunder and reach the Star State.
Also, due to the constitution, one would make rapid progress in grasping the law of thunder!
To put it simply, Yuan Linglu could become the next Goddess of Light in the Holy Oriole Academy in a few years!
The Goddess of Light was ranked second in the Holy Oriole Academy, and she wouldn't be lower than the top three in the Hugh Mia Academy. Although she only had an elemental constitution, she had stood out among the tens of thousands of elemental constitutions in the Federation, which made her as one of the top ten constitutions of the divine class!
"Yes, I will."
Yuan Linglu nodded quickly. She knew that the academy had high hopes for her; she was there to broaden her knowledge. As for becoming famous in the Universe Geniuses' Contest? She had never thought about it; it was just a trial for her.
She had heard from the seniors in the academy that those who could make a name for themselves in the Universe Geniuses Contest were all freaks that attracted the attention of the entire universe. They were the best of the best, and most of them had powerful backgrounds or powerful teachers.
"Let's go in too," said the graceful woman.
Yuan Linglu looked at the all-class monument where Su Ping had entered; she was eager to fight. Su Ping had made a name for himself by defeating Dragon Devil. She had been quite frustrated by the fact that she had become much stronger after being groomed by the Hugh Mia Academy. She had thought that she could easily crush Su Ping again.
However, the latter's speed of growth was beyond her expectations.
I'll exchange my points for a chance to train pets! Yuan Linglu set a goal for herself and flew to the monument determinedly.
…
Inside the all-class monument —
Su Ping felt as if he had entered a place of nothingness; he was floating in space. Soon after, he felt that something was pulling his consciousness; a vortex appeared in front of him.
He remembered the rules of the Star Lord's Mysterious Realm; he didn't restrain himself and allowed his consciousness to fly into the vortex.
Phew!
Su Ping felt that he had arrived on an empty plain after his consciousness traveled through the monument.
He knew that it was the Illusionary Realm inside the monument.
If he were to die there, his consciousness would be damaged at best; he wouldn't really die.
The Star Lord said that every monument has 99 floors. The Ascendant State expert who obtained the mysterious realm challenged the highest floors and gained control of the place.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to get a mysterious realm even if I challenge the 99th floor.
Has it begun …?
While Su Ping mumbled to himself, several clouds of black mist appeared on the plain. Three of them turned into three giant wolves that were forty to fifty meters long. They were furry and their claws were as large as tanks; they could easily tear apart diamonds.
They're really all in the Fate State …
Just as I expected, the monument replicates the challengers according to their own level.
Su Ping sensed the strength of the three wolves and chuckled. Three Fate State wild beasts had appeared at the beginning of the battle. Normal Fate State warriors would have had to summon their battle pets to fight them.
The first floor wasn't very difficult.
Most ordinary people could pass it.
Roar!
The three wolves roared and charged at him, unleashing tearing skills.
Su Ping didn't move. When they were close enough, he flicked his finger. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Three streams of compressed astral powers were shot out and hit their heads.
The three wolves perished.
Su Ping had consumed less than one-tenth of the astral power of a normal Fate State warrior. It was a battle technique.
The scene changed; Su Ping found himself in a forest.
At the same time, six Fate State wild beasts appeared. They were poisonous Jungle Pythons.
Su Ping raised his hand and killed them all.
Then, he moved on to the third floor, then the fourth … The scenery on each floor was different; sometimes it was different, sometimes it wasn't. The enemies he encountered were all kinds of strange, including battle-type wild beasts, elemental beasts, and humanoid monsters.
He reached the tenth floor in a row.
Su Ping encountered a different monster when he reached the eleventh floor. It was a demon pet with four black wings on its back. It looked like an enormous birdman, with sharp claws and sharp hooks that extended from its chest. It was still in the Fate State.
However, the monster displayed extraordinary speed the moment it attacked; it was much faster than normal Fate State beasts could react.
Bang.
Su Ping simply punched it and killed it as if it were a mosquito.
It was strong, but it was still in the Fate State; it was nothing for Su Ping.
The monster couldn't hurt him even if he stood still. After all, his body was as tough as some of the top Star State wild beasts!
The scene changed. Then, the twelfth floor …
…
On the top of the monument — the Star Lords of the five academies and the two Star Lords of the Mysterious Realms waited patiently as the students entered the monuments.
"Are the points out yet?"
"They're refreshed every ten minutes. It hasn't been ten minutes yet."
"Soon."
One of the Star Lords of the Mysterious Realms waved his hand, and a giant monument flew over. It was slightly different from the other monuments; it had been built by the current master of the Mysterious Realms through special means. It could be connected to the other monuments to check what was going on inside.
"It's out."
All of a sudden, a golden light appeared on the giant monument. Projections and rankings appeared on the surface of the monument.
The monument was so high that it didn't affect the rankings at all, even if they were replaced by projections.
The projection at the top was that of the Dragon Emperor!
He had reached the sixteenth floor!
His points were 4,290!
The Wooden Sword Boy was in second place; he had also reached the sixteenth floor, with 3,820 points!
The sword-class monument wasn't as good as the dragon-class monument, so the points weren't as high. Still, both of them were monsters, having reached the sixteenth floor in such a short amount of time.
"It's only been ten minutes, and they've already reached the sixteenth floor."
"The one in third place is fourteenth."
"The others are also on the twelfth or thirteenth floor. Tsk, tsk."
"Is he challenging one floor per minute? That's horrifying!"
"It seems that the talents sent by the five academies are all good; they're slightly better than the previous ones."
The two Star Lords of the Mysterious Realms had mixed feelings.
The Star Lords of the five academies were all excited as they checked the students of their respective academies.
They knew the data of the previous years, and the overall performance of the current year seemed to be better than the previous ones.
"The one who challenged the all-class monument is ranked sixth. Not bad."
"He's already reached the twelfth floor. That's quite fast. I remember that he entered later than the others, right?"
"Although he's only on the twelfth floor, he's almost catching up to the third place."
"Judging from their speed, I think some of them will surpass the fiftieth floor this year, right?"
